下面对本申请实施例提供的波束成形方法涉及的技术概念进行就介绍。The technical concepts involved in the beamforming method provided in the embodiment of the present application are briefly introduced below.

1、多天线信道模型1. Multi-antenna channel model

无线通信***的传播环境包括视距(line of sight，LOS)和非视距(non-line of sight，NLOS)。LOS场景下，无线信号在发送端与接收端之间无遮挡的直线传播。示例性的，图2为LOS场景下终端200的多天线信道模型的原理示意图。如图2所示，终端200具有Y根均匀线性阵列天线，标记为天线0～天线Y-1。终端200和网络设备100间的上行信道矩阵H _UL可以表示为： The propagation environment of the wireless communication system includes line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS). In the LOS scenario, the wireless signal propagates in a straight line without obstruction between the sender and receiver. Exemplarily, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a multi-antenna channel model of the terminal 200 in a LOS scenario. As shown in FIG. 2 , the terminal 200 has Y uniform linear array antennas, which are marked as antenna 0 to antenna Y-1. The uplink channel matrix H _UL between the terminal 200 and the network device 100 can be expressed as:

其中，d表示相邻天线的间距，

表示入射角，λ表示载波波长，

表示相邻天线的波程差。H _UL的行数是网络设备100的接收天线数，列数是终端200的发送天线数Y，h _y表示天线y对应的上行信道，y＝0,1,…,Y-1。信道也可以称为空口信道。 where d represents the distance between adjacent antennas,

Indicates the incident angle, λ indicates the carrier wavelength,

Indicates the wave path difference between adjacent antennas. The number of rows of H _UL is the number of receiving antennas of the network device 100, the number of columns is the number Y of transmitting antennas of the terminal 200, h _y represents the uplink channel corresponding to antenna y, and y=0,1,...,Y-1. A channel may also be called an air interface channel.

2、子带、CSI2. Subband, CSI

子带(subband)：物理层反馈信道信息的频域粒度单位。***带宽可以划分为若干个子带，基于***带宽的不同，子带的大小可能是4个、6个或8个等资源块(resource block，RB)。RB为业务信道资源分配的资源单位，在频域上占用12个连续的子载波。本申请实施例中，子带也可以被称为子信道或频域单元。Subband (subband): The frequency domain granularity unit of the physical layer feedback channel information. The system bandwidth can be divided into several sub-bands, and the size of the sub-bands may be 4, 6 or 8 resource blocks (resource block, RB) based on different system bandwidths. RB is a resource unit allocated by traffic channel resources, and occupies 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. In this embodiment of the present application, a subband may also be called a subchannel or a frequency domain unit.

CSI信道状态信息(Channel State Information，CSI)是用来估计一条通信链路特性的信息,而估计CSI的过程便叫做信道估计。CSI包括但不限于预编码矩阵指示(precodingmatrix indicator，PMI)、秩指示(rank indicator，RI)、预编码类型指示(precoding type indicator，PTI)和信道质量信息(Channel Quality Indicator，CQI)中的一或多个，其所占的时频资源是由网络设备来控制。CSI Channel State Information (CSI) is information used to estimate the characteristics of a communication link, and the process of estimating CSI is called channel estimation. CSI includes but is not limited to one of precoding matrix indicator (precoding matrix indicator, PMI), rank indicator (rank indicator, RI), precoding type indicator (precoding type indicator, PTI) and channel quality information (Channel Quality Indicator, CQI) or more, and the time-frequency resources occupied by them are controlled by network devices.

全带宽的CSI上报：接收终端针对目标链路占据的全带宽的CSI进行CSI上报。例如，上述全带宽的CSI是目标链路占据的所有子带的CSI的平均。Full-bandwidth CSI reporting: The receiving terminal reports CSI for the full-bandwidth CSI occupied by the target link. For example, the above-mentioned CSI of the full bandwidth is an average of CSIs of all subbands occupied by the target link.

子带级的CSI上报：接收终端针对目标链路占据的每个子带的CSI进行CSI上报。CSI reporting at the sub-band level: the receiving terminal reports CSI for the CSI of each sub-band occupied by the target link.

3、BF、BF增益3. BF, BF gain

BF基本原理为：发送端在利用多天线发送信号时，可以通过调整每根天线的加权系数，产生具有指向性的波束，使得多天线中每根天线发送的信号到达接收端时相干叠加，提高了上行信号接收强度和信噪比，获得BF增益。其中：The basic principle of BF is: when the sending end uses multiple antennas to send signals, it can generate directional beams by adjusting the weighting coefficients of each antenna, so that the signals sent by each antenna in the multi-antennas can be coherently superimposed when they arrive at the receiving end, improving The received strength and signal-to-noise ratio of the uplink signal are improved, and the BF gain is obtained. in:

加权系数，也称为权值，是指天线发送信号时使用的幅度和/或相位。调整天线使用的幅度和/或相位可以称为加权。相干是指多根天线发送的信号可以按照相同相位或者相近相位到达接收端。移相是指调整多天线发送信号时使用的相位。Weighting coefficients, also known as weights, refer to the amplitude and/or phase used by the antenna to transmit the signal. Adjusting the amplitude and/or phase used by the antennas may be referred to as weighting. Coherence means that the signals sent by multiple antennas can reach the receiving end according to the same phase or similar phase. Phase shifting refers to adjusting the phase used when multiple antennas transmit signals.

在一种应用场景中，发送端的Y根发送天线对应的信道完全相关，只存在由于无线信号的波程差引起的相位差异。发送端通过上述Y根发送天线发送信号时，可以采用BF技术对上述Y根天线发送的信号进行适当地相位偏移，相比于使用相同的总功率在单根天线上发送信号，通过上述BF技术可以使接收信号获得(10lgY)dB的BF增益。In one application scenario, the channels corresponding to the Y transmitting antennas at the transmitting end are completely correlated, and there is only a phase difference caused by a wave path difference of wireless signals. When the transmitting end transmits signals through the above-mentioned Y transmitting antennas, BF technology can be used to appropriately phase-shift the signals transmitted by the above-mentioned Y antennas. Compared with using the same total power to transmit signals on a single antenna, the above-mentioned BF Technology can make the received signal obtain (10lgY) dB BF gain.

目前，5G NR的频率范围(frequency range，FR)包括FR1和FR2。示例性的，支持5G FR1的终端，1个TX通道与1根天线对应；理论上，对于具备2TX通道和2根天线的终端，BF增益为(10lg2)dB，即3dB；对于具备4TX通道和4根天线的终端，BF增益为(10lg4)dB，即6dB。Currently, the frequency range (frequency range, FR) of 5G NR includes FR1 and FR2. Exemplarily, for a terminal supporting 5G FR1, one TX channel corresponds to one antenna; theoretically, for a terminal with 2TX channels and two antennas, the BF gain is (10lg2)dB, which is 3dB; for a terminal with 4TX channels and For a terminal with 4 antennas, the BF gain is (10lg4)dB, that is, 6dB.

在另一种应用场景中，Y根发送天线对应的信道只有部分相关性，除了存在相位差异之外还存在幅度差异。信道的最大特征分量在信道总功率中所占的比例记为ρ，ρ>1/N。以信道的最大特征方向作为BF发送权值，来对上行信号进行加权发送，获得的BF增益为(10lgρN)dB。可见，天线间信道相关性越高，最大特征分量的比例ρ越大，BF增益越大。In another application scenario, the channels corresponding to the Y transmitting antennas are only partially correlated, and there are amplitude differences in addition to phase differences. The proportion of the largest characteristic component of the channel in the total channel power is recorded as ρ, ρ>1/N. The maximum characteristic direction of the channel is used as the BF sending weight to carry out weighted sending on the uplink signal, and the obtained BF gain is (10lgρN)dB. It can be seen that the higher the channel correlation between antennas, the larger the ratio ρ of the largest eigencomponent, and the larger the BF gain.

4、终端收发框架、TX通道4. Terminal transceiver frame, TX channel

图3A为本申请实施例提供的终端200的收发框架的一种结构示意图。如图3A所示，终端200的收发框架可以划分为基带、射频(radio frequency，RF)和天线三部分。基带可以包括调制解调(modulator-demodulator，modem)模块，modem模块用于对基带信号进行处理。射频可以包括射频集成电路(radio frequency integrated circuit，RFIC)和射频前端(radio frequency front end，RFFE)，RFIC和RFFE用于对射频信号进行处理。天线用于接收信号或发射信号。FIG. 3A is a schematic structural diagram of a transceiver framework of a terminal 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3A , the transceiver framework of the terminal 200 can be divided into three parts: baseband, radio frequency (radio frequency, RF) and antenna. The baseband may include a modulator-demodulator (modem) module, and the modem module is used to process the baseband signal. The radio frequency may include a radio frequency integrated circuit (radio frequency integrated circuit, RFIC) and a radio frequency front end (radio frequency front end, RFFE), and the RFIC and the RFFE are used to process radio frequency signals. Antennas are used to receive signals or transmit signals.

其中，基带的每个端口都唯一连接一个射频通道，一个射频通道可以连接到一或多根物理天线。3GPP定义的发送端口(port)指可以独立发送一路信号的通道(该通道可以称为发送通道(TX))，接收端口指可以独立接收一路信号的通道(该通道可以称为接收通道RX)。在基带领域通常使用端口的概念，而在射频领域通常使用通道的概念，在本文中以通道为例进行说明。Wherein, each port of the baseband is uniquely connected to one radio frequency channel, and one radio frequency channel may be connected to one or more physical antennas. The transmission port (port) defined by 3GPP refers to a channel that can independently transmit a signal (the channel can be called a transmission channel (TX)), and the receiving port refers to a channel that can independently receive a signal (the channel can be called a reception channel RX). The concept of a port is usually used in the baseband field, and the concept of a channel is usually used in the radio frequency field. In this article, a channel is used as an example for illustration.

本申请实施例对终端200的TX通道的个数、RX通道的个数、天线的个数均不做具体限定。示例性的，图2所示的终端200的收发框架包括2个TX通道(即TX0和TX1)，4个RX通道(即RX0至RX3)，以及4根天线(即天线1至天线4)。The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the number of TX channels, the number of RX channels, and the number of antennas of the terminal 200 . Exemplarily, the transceiver frame of the terminal 200 shown in FIG. 2 includes 2 TX channels (ie TX0 and TX1), 4 RX channels (ie RX0 to RX3), and 4 antennas (ie antenna 1 to antenna 4).

目前，支持5G FR1的终端，1个TX通道与1根天线对应，1个RX通道与1根天线对应，而支持5G FR2的终端，1个TX通道可以与2根天线对应，1个RX通道可以与2根天线对应。需要说明的是，终端200可以支持2G～5G通信中的各种频段，不同的频段可以对应不同的天线配置，本申请实施例对每种频段的天线个数不做限定。例如，5G NR的频率范围包括FR1和FR2。对于终端，5G FR1中的Sub6G和Sub3G频段通常可以分别对应4根天线。Currently, for terminals supporting 5G FR1, one TX channel corresponds to one antenna, one RX channel corresponds to one antenna, while for terminals supporting 5G FR2, one TX channel corresponds to two antennas, and one RX channel corresponds to Compatible with 2 antennas. It should be noted that the terminal 200 can support various frequency bands in 2G-5G communication, and different frequency bands can correspond to different antenna configurations. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of antennas for each frequency band. For example, the frequency range of 5G NR includes FR1 and FR2. For terminals, the Sub6G and Sub3G frequency bands in 5G FR1 can usually correspond to 4 antennas respectively.

为了方便说明，本申请实施例将配置a个TX通道、b根天线的终端称为a T/b配置的终端。例如，具有2个TX通道、4根天线的终端称为2T/4配置的终端。For convenience of description, in this embodiment of the present application, a terminal configured with a TX channels and b antennas is referred to as a T/b configured terminal. For example, a terminal with 2 TX channels and 4 antennas is called a 2T/4 configured terminal.

5、ABF、DBF、HBF5. ABF, DBF, HBF

根据BF发生位置的不同，BF可以包括：ABF、DBF和HBF。如图3A所示，BF的发生位置可以包括基带和/或射频。According to the location of BF, BF can include: ABF, DBF and HBF. As shown in FIG. 3A , locations where BF occurs may include baseband and/or radio frequency.

ABF，是指通过射频的控制对TX通道对应的多根天线加权实现的BF，即通过RFIC和RFFE在模拟域对各天线对应的模拟信号进行加权。ABF的硬件结构简单，实现成本较低。ABF中使用的波束可以称为模拟波束。通常，ABF可以调整模拟波束的相位，不能调整模拟波束的幅度。此外，ABF使用移相器调整模拟波束的相位，可调整的相位个数有限，取决于移相器的实现；ABF仅能对模拟信号作全带宽的移相，不能针对不同子带分别作子带级的移相。ABF refers to the BF implemented by weighting the multiple antennas corresponding to the TX channel through radio frequency control, that is, weighting the analog signals corresponding to each antenna in the analog domain through RFIC and RFFE. The hardware structure of ABF is simple, and the realization cost is low. The beams used in ABF may be referred to as analog beams. In general, ABF can adjust the phase of the analog beam, but not the amplitude of the analog beam. In addition, ABF uses a phase shifter to adjust the phase of the analog beam. The number of adjustable phases is limited and depends on the implementation of the phase shifter; ABF can only shift the phase of the full bandwidth of the analog signal, and cannot perform sub-bands for different sub-bands. Phase shifting with stages.

示例性的，如图3B所示，终端200具备TX0通道，TX0通道连接到天线0和天线1。终端200可以对TX0通道连接的两根天线对应的模拟信号进行加权，实现上行ABF。Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3B , the terminal 200 has a TX0 channel, and the TX0 channel is connected to antenna 0 and antenna 1 . The terminal 200 may weight the analog signals corresponding to the two antennas connected to the TX0 channel to implement uplink ABF.

DBF，是指通过基带的控制对多个TX通道加权实现的BF，即通过modem在数字域对各TX通道对应的数字信号进行加权。DBF对端口的处理能力的要求较高，功耗和硬件实现成本较高。DBF中使用的波束可以称为数字波束。通常，DBF可以调整数字波束的相位，也可以调整数字波束的幅度。此外，基带通过软件调整数字波束的相位，可调整的相位可以为任意数值，即相位调整的精确度很高；DBF即能对数字信号作全带宽的移相，又能针对不同子带分别作子带级的移相。DBF refers to the BF implemented by weighting multiple TX channels through baseband control, that is, the digital signal corresponding to each TX channel is weighted in the digital domain through the modem. The DBF has high requirements on the processing capability of the port, and the power consumption and hardware implementation cost are relatively high. The beams used in DBF may be called digital beams. Usually, DBF can adjust the phase of the digital beam, and can also adjust the amplitude of the digital beam. In addition, the baseband adjusts the phase of the digital beam through software, and the adjustable phase can be any value, that is, the accuracy of the phase adjustment is very high; DBF can not only perform full-bandwidth phase shift for digital signals, but also perform phase shifts for different sub-bands. Phase shifting at the subband level.

示例性的，如图3C所示，终端200具备2个TX通道，即TX0通道和TX1通道，TX0通道连接到一或多根天线(例如天线0)，TX1通道也连接到一或多根天线(例如天线1)。终端200可以对上述2个TX通道对应的数字信号进行加权，实现上行DBF。Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3C , the terminal 200 has two TX channels, namely TX0 channel and TX1 channel, TX0 channel is connected to one or more antennas (such as antenna 0), and TX1 channel is also connected to one or more antennas (eg Antenna 1). The terminal 200 may weight the digital signals corresponding to the above two TX channels to implement uplink DBF.

可以理解，若终端200仅具备1个TX通道，则无法实现DBF；若终端200的一个TX通道(例如图3C所示TX0通道)仅连接一根天线，则针对该TX通道无法实现ABF。It can be understood that if the terminal 200 has only one TX channel, DBF cannot be realized; if one TX channel of the terminal 200 (such as the TX0 channel shown in FIG. 3C ) is only connected to one antenna, then ABF cannot be realized for this TX channel.

HBF，是指综合ABF和DBF实现的BF，即通过基带的控制对多个TX通道加权后，又通过射频的控制对TX通道对应的多根天线加权。HBF refers to the BF implemented by integrating ABF and DBF, that is, after weighting multiple TX channels through baseband control, and then weighting multiple antennas corresponding to the TX channel through radio frequency control.

示例性的，如图3D所示，终端200具备2个TX通道，即TX0通道和TX1通道，TX0通道连接到多根天线(例如天线0和天线1)，TX1通道也连接到多根天线(例如天线2和天线3)。终端200可以对上述2个TX通道对应的数字信号进行加权，实现上行DBF；终端200还可以对TX0通道连接的两根天线对应的模拟信号进行加权，实现TX0通道的上行ABF；终端200还可以对TX1通道连接的两根天线对应的模拟信号进行加权，实现TX1通道的上行ABF。Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3D, the terminal 200 has two TX channels, that is, a TX0 channel and a TX1 channel. The TX0 channel is connected to multiple antennas (such as antenna 0 and antenna 1), and the TX1 channel is also connected to multiple antennas ( For example Antenna 2 and Antenna 3). The terminal 200 can weight the digital signals corresponding to the above two TX channels to realize uplink DBF; the terminal 200 can also weight the analog signals corresponding to the two antennas connected to the TX0 channel to realize the uplink ABF of the TX0 channel; the terminal 200 can also The analog signals corresponding to the two antennas connected to the TX1 channel are weighted to realize the uplink ABF of the TX1 channel.

为便于描述合区分，将ABF中模拟信号的相位调整量简称为模拟移相值，ABF权值指示了各天线的模拟移相值；将DBF中数字信号的相位调整量简称为数字移相值，DBF权值指示了各TX通道的数字移相值。For ease of description and distinction, the phase adjustment amount of the analog signal in ABF is referred to as the analog phase shift value, and the ABF weight indicates the analog phase shift value of each antenna; the phase adjustment amount of the digital signal in the DBF is referred to as the digital phase shift value , the DBF weight indicates the digital phase shift value of each TX channel.

需要说明的是，图3A至图3D仅仅为本申请实施例提供的示例性的收发框架示意图，该收发框架中还可以包括更多或更少的硬件，此处不做具体限定。例如，图3B至图3D所示的终端200的收发框架图还可以包括一或多个RX通道(图中未示出)。It should be noted that FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D are only schematic diagrams of an exemplary transceiving framework provided by the embodiment of the present application, and the transceiving framework may also include more or less hardware, which is not specifically limited here. For example, the transceiving frame diagrams of the terminal 200 shown in FIG. 3B to FIG. 3D may also include one or more RX channels (not shown in the figure).

6、AS-SRS6. AS-SRS

探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)是用于测量上行信道的一种参考信号，网络设备100可以基于终端200发送的SRS进行上行信道估计，以获取上行信道的信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)，进而便于上行资源调度。目前通信协议(例如，NR协议)为SRS配置了多种功能，SRS的功能通常包括：确定基于码本的物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)的传输方式，确定非码本的PUSCH的传输方式，天线切换(antenna switching)功能以及管理波束等。A sounding reference signal (sounding reference signal, SRS) is a reference signal used to measure an uplink channel. The network device 100 may perform uplink channel estimation based on the SRS sent by the terminal 200 to obtain channel state information (channel state information, CSI), thereby facilitating uplink resource scheduling. The current communication protocol (for example, NR protocol) configures a variety of functions for the SRS. The functions of the SRS usually include: determining the transmission mode of the physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH) based on the codebook, and determining the non-codebook PUSCH The transmission mode, antenna switching (antenna switching) function and management beam, etc.

由于各个功能对SRS的需求不同，导致各个功能的SRS的资源配置也有所差异。本申请实施例中，终端200需要通过天线切换(也可以称为天线轮询)的方式来发送SRS，为便于描述，将通过天线切换方式发送的SRS简称为AS-SRS，AS-SRS的资源可以简称为AS-SRS资源。Since each function has different requirements on the SRS, the resource allocation of the SRS of each function is also different. In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal 200 needs to transmit SRS through antenna switching (also called antenna polling). For the convenience of description, the SRS transmitted through antenna switching is referred to as AS-SRS for short. It may be referred to as AS-SRS resource for short.

本申请实施例中，终端200会向网络设备100上报终端200支持的TX通道和天线的数量，相应地，网络设备100根据TX通道和天线的数量为终端200配置AS-SRS资源，以便终端200在AS-SRS资源上传输AS-SRS。AS-SRS资源的资源粒度包括但不限于时域(例如时隙、子帧、符号等)、频域(子载波、带宽、RB等)、码域(例如导频、训练序列、同步序列等)、空域(例如发送天线、接收天线、波束等)。In the embodiment of this application, the terminal 200 will report the number of TX channels and antennas supported by the terminal 200 to the network device 100, and accordingly, the network device 100 configures AS-SRS resources for the terminal 200 according to the number of TX channels and antennas, so that the terminal 200 AS-SRS is transmitted on AS-SRS resources.

下面对本申请实施例提供的一种波束成形方案进行具体介绍。A beamforming solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically introduced below.

第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)协议定义了2TX通道和4TX通道分别对应的上行相干码本，参见协议38.211中的6.3.1.5节。码本是一种预先定义的量化的移相值。本申请实施例提供的一种波束成形方法中，终端200可以利用上述上行相干码本实现上行BF。为便于描述，后续实施例中将该波束成形方法简称为方案一。The 3rd generation partnership project (3rd generation partnership project, 3GPP) protocol defines the uplink coherent codebooks corresponding to the 2TX channel and the 4TX channel respectively, see section 6.3.1.5 in the protocol 38.211. A codebook is a pre-defined quantized phase shift value. In a beamforming method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal 200 may use the above-mentioned uplink coherent codebook to implement uplink BF. For ease of description, the beamforming method is simply referred to as Solution 1 in the following embodiments.

具体的，方案一中，终端200和网络设备100可以交互能力信息，确定两设备均支持协议规定的上行相干码本。终端200可以向网络设备100发送上行参考信号；网络设备100根据终端200发送的上行参考信号进行上行信道估计，在上行相干码本中确定目标码字；网络设备100向终端200发送目标码字的码字索引；终端200根据网络设备100发送的码字索引确定目标码字，并根据目标码字对多个TX通道的信号进行移相，以进行上行BF发送。Specifically, in Solution 1, the terminal 200 and the network device 100 may exchange capability information to determine that both devices support the uplink coherent codebook specified in the protocol. The terminal 200 can send an uplink reference signal to the network device 100; the network device 100 performs uplink channel estimation according to the uplink reference signal sent by the terminal 200, and determines the target codeword in the uplink coherent codebook; the network device 100 sends the target codeword to the terminal 200 Codeword index: the terminal 200 determines the target codeword according to the codeword index sent by the network device 100, and shifts the phases of signals of multiple TX channels according to the target codeword to perform uplink BF transmission.

该方案存在如下问题：There are following problems in this scheme:

1、目前，终端200普遍支持2TX通道。此外，由于射频器件成本、占用面积、功耗等问题，终端200通常不支持4TX通道。针对配置2个TX通道的终端200，网络设备100会根据2个TX通道对应的信道估计，选择一个2天线的权值反馈给终端200，协议并不支持网络设备100选择一个4天线的权值反馈给终端200，因此，该方案中配置4根天线的终端200无法实现更高的BF增益。如果不对协议作改进，终端200自行实现2个TX通道到4根天线的映射，依赖于上下行信道互易性，这需要增加硬件成本，同时也需要基带软件增加上述映射关系的计算。此外，由于这种解决方式依赖于上下行信道互易性，该解决方式仅适用于TDD频段，对FDD频段不适用。1. At present, terminal 200 generally supports 2TX channels. In addition, due to issues such as radio frequency device cost, occupied area, and power consumption, the terminal 200 generally does not support 4TX channels. For the terminal 200 configured with 2 TX channels, the network device 100 will select a 2-antenna weight to feed back to the terminal 200 according to the channel estimation corresponding to the 2 TX channels. The protocol does not support the network device 100 to select a 4-antenna weight. Feedback is given to the terminal 200. Therefore, in this solution, the terminal 200 configured with 4 antennas cannot achieve a higher BF gain. If no improvement is made to the protocol, the terminal 200 realizes the mapping from 2 TX channels to 4 antennas by itself, depending on the reciprocity of the uplink and downlink channels, which requires an increase in hardware costs, and also requires baseband software to increase the calculation of the above mapping relationship. In addition, because this solution depends on the reciprocity of the uplink and downlink channels, this solution is only applicable to the TDD frequency band, not to the FDD frequency band.

2、即使协议中定义的上行相干码本可以实现，具备2个TX通道的终端200的上行BF增益最大为3dB，无法实现更高的BF增益。2. Even if the uplink coherent codebook defined in the protocol can be realized, the uplink BF gain of the terminal 200 with two TX channels is at most 3dB, and a higher BF gain cannot be achieved.

3、协议中定义的上行相干码本，量化粒度较粗，目前包括{0°、90°、180°、270°}这四组移相档位。如果TX通道对应的天线之间的波程差不是以上四个相位，将不能获得理论上的最大增益。3. The uplink coherent codebook defined in the agreement has a relatively coarse quantization granularity, and currently includes four groups of phase-shifting gears {0°, 90°, 180°, 270°}. If the wave length difference between the antennas corresponding to the TX channel is not the above four phases, the theoretical maximum gain will not be obtained.

下面对本申请实施例提供的另一种波束成形方案进行具体介绍。Another beamforming solution provided by the embodiment of the present application will be specifically introduced below.

对于支持5G FR2的终端，可以实现1个TX通道或RX通道驱动多根天线，实现上行ABF。此外，FR2的通信协议中设置了专门的波束轮询时隙，用于终端遍历多个模拟波束。For terminals supporting 5G FR2, one TX channel or RX channel can drive multiple antennas to realize uplink ABF. In addition, a special beam polling time slot is set in the communication protocol of FR2, which is used for the terminal to traverse multiple analog beams.

本申请实施例提供的另一种波束成形方法中，终端200可以利用预设的若干波束轮询，来选择目标模拟波束，从而实现上行ABF。为便于描述，后续实施例中该波束成形方法简称为方案二。In another beamforming method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal 200 may use preset several beam polling to select a target analog beam, so as to realize uplink ABF. For ease of description, the beamforming method in subsequent embodiments is referred to as scheme two for short.

具体的，方案二中，终端200的一路TX通道(例如TX0通道)和RX通道(例如RX0通道)连接到一个移相网络控制的多天线阵列上，终端200的Modem控制这个移相网络在预设的若干模拟波束中轮询。如果是TDD频段，终端200的Modem根据各模拟波束对应的信道估计，选择RX0通道接收到的接收功率最大的模拟波束用于后续的上行ABF；如果是FDD频段，基站确定终端200使用TX0通道发送的导频中上行接收功率最强的导频对应的模拟波束，并将该模拟波束反馈给终端200，终端200采用该模拟波束进行后续的上行ABF。Specifically, in Solution 2, one TX channel (such as TX0 channel) and RX channel (such as RX0 channel) of terminal 200 is connected to a multi-antenna array controlled by a phase-shifting network, and the Modem of terminal 200 controls the phase-shifting network to Polling among several simulated beams set up. If it is the TDD frequency band, the Modem of the terminal 200 selects the analog beam with the highest received power received by the RX0 channel for the subsequent uplink ABF according to the channel estimation corresponding to each analog beam; if it is the FDD frequency band, the base station determines that the terminal 200 uses the TX0 channel to transmit Among the pilots, the simulated beam corresponding to the pilot with the strongest uplink received power is fed back to the terminal 200, and the terminal 200 uses the simulated beam to perform subsequent uplink ABF.

示例性的，图4为支持5G FR1的终端200的一种收发框架的结构示意图。其中，TX0通道和RX0通道连接到一个移相网络控制的多天线阵列上，该多天线阵列包括天线0和天线1，Modem控制上述移相网络在预设的若干模拟波束中轮询，来选择上行发送的目标模拟波束。Exemplarily, FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a transceiver framework of a terminal 200 supporting 5G FR1. Among them, the TX0 channel and the RX0 channel are connected to a multi-antenna array controlled by a phase-shifting network. The multi-antenna array includes antenna 0 and antenna 1. The Modem controls the above-mentioned phase-shifting network to poll among preset analog beams to select Target analog beam for uplink transmission.

该方案存在如下问题：There are following problems in this scheme:

1、目前，终端200下行通常支持4个RX通道，但是，ABF技术中1个RX通道需要至少2根天线。这样，本方案中，为了实现上行BF且确保下行4个RX通道，具备1个TX通道的终端需要包括1个移相网络以及至少5根天线；具备2个TX通道终端需要包括2个移相网络以及至少6根天线。本方案需要额外增加天线，这将导致硬件成本增加，而且受限于终端的尺寸、射频器件占用面积、功耗等问题，实际应用中增加天线是非常困难的。1. At present, the downlink of the terminal 200 usually supports 4 RX channels, but in the ABF technology, 1 RX channel requires at least 2 antennas. In this way, in this solution, in order to achieve uplink BF and ensure 4 downlink RX channels, a terminal with 1 TX channel needs to include 1 phase-shifting network and at least 5 antennas; a terminal with 2 TX channels needs to include 2 phase-shifting network and at least 6 antennas. This solution requires additional antennas, which will lead to increased hardware costs, and is limited by the size of the terminal, the area occupied by radio frequency devices, and power consumption. It is very difficult to add antennas in practical applications.

2、FR1的协议中没有设置波束轮询时隙，终端200遍历模拟波束的操作是非标准的，会打断FR1频段的正常接收，影响下行通信。此外，如果终端200遍历到与当前信道近似正交的模拟波束时，会导致下行接收信号的强度掉底，严重影响下行通信。2. There is no beam polling time slot set in the FR1 protocol, and the operation of the terminal 200 traversing the analog beam is non-standard, which will interrupt the normal reception of the FR1 frequency band and affect the downlink communication. In addition, if the terminal 200 traverses an analog beam that is approximately orthogonal to the current channel, the strength of the downlink received signal will drop to the bottom, seriously affecting the downlink communication.

本申请实施例还提供了一种波束成形方法，应用于终端200和网络设备100。所提方法中终端200的发送框架支持1个TX通道对应2根天线；终端200和网络设备100可以交互功率能力、TX通道和天线配置、移相档位等信息，终端200通过单天线向网络设备100轮询发送AS-SRS，网络设备100基于接收到的AS-SRS进行上行信道估计，并基于上行信道估计结果和上述交互信息确定终端200的上行的目标发送方式，并通过CSI反馈向终端200指示上述目标发送方式。这样，所提能够充分利用终端200的多TX通道和多天线来提升上行传输性能，实现更高的BF增益，同时，有效避免方案1和方案2存在的问题。下面对上述波束成形方法进行详细介绍。The embodiment of the present application also provides a beamforming method, which is applied to the terminal 200 and the network device 100 . In the proposed method, the transmission framework of the terminal 200 supports 1 TX channel corresponding to 2 antennas; the terminal 200 and the network device 100 can exchange information such as power capability, TX channel and antenna configuration, phase shifting gear, etc., and the terminal 200 transmits information to the network through a single antenna. The device 100 polls and sends the AS-SRS, and the network device 100 performs uplink channel estimation based on the received AS-SRS, and determines the uplink target transmission mode of the terminal 200 based on the uplink channel estimation result and the above-mentioned interaction information, and feeds back to the terminal through CSI 200 indicates the above-mentioned destination delivery method. In this way, the proposed method can make full use of the multiple TX channels and multiple antennas of the terminal 200 to improve uplink transmission performance, achieve higher BF gain, and at the same time, effectively avoid the problems existing in scheme 1 and scheme 2. The foregoing beamforming method will be described in detail below.

If the terminal 200 only performs uplink DBF but does not perform ABF, the phase shift value indicated by the HBF weight value of the uplink beam sent by the terminal 200 is equal to the digital phase shift value indicated by the DBF weight value. If the terminal 200 does not perform uplink DBF and uplink ABF, the HBF phase shift value of the uplink beam is equal to 0.

其中，模拟移相值与ABF的移相精度相关联，数字移相值与DBF的移相精度相关联。Among them, the analog phase shift value is associated with the phase shift accuracy of the ABF, and the digital phase shift value is associated with the phase shift accuracy of the DBF.

The abscissa of the curves shown in FIG. 7B and FIG. 7C is the incoming wave angle, and the ordinate is Uplink BF gain. Under different incoming wave angles, the terminal 200 can obtain the target codeword fed back by the network device 100, and perform uplink transmission based on the codeword to obtain an uplink BF gain. Wherein, in FIG. 7B , both the ABF phase-shifting gear and the DBF phase-shifting gear of the terminal 200 configured in 2T/4 only have four phase-shifting gears of {0°, 90°, 180°, -90°}. It can be seen from Fig. 7B that when the direction of arrival is 0°, 60°, 90° and 120°, the target codeword completely matches the angle of arrival, and the above-mentioned beamforming method can achieve a BF gain of 6dB. The uplink BF gain is slightly lower, the lowest being about 5.2dB. In Fig. 7C, the ABF phase-shifting gears and DBF phase-shifting gears of the terminal 200 configured in 2T/4 are only {0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, -135°, -90°, - 45°} These 8 phase shift positions. It can be seen from Figure 7C that when the direction of arrival is 0°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 105°, 120° and 135°, the target codeword matches the angle of arrival completely, and the above beamforming method can A BF gain of 6dB is achieved, and the minimum BF gain in other incoming wave directions is about 5.8dB gain. It can be seen from the above that the higher the phase shifting accuracy is, the greater the probability of achieving a BF gain of 6dB, and the greater the minimum gain that can be achieved.
